Propane Patio Heaters

Propane Patio Heaters

Propane patio heaters from Bromic and Dimplex, $1,399 to $5,149. Propane is the option when there is no gas line and no intention of running one.

Why propane

A propane heater needs no plumbing and no electrician, which removes the two things that usually delay a patio heating project. It runs from a standard tank, so the unit can be positioned by where people actually sit rather than by where a gas line happens to terminate, and it can be moved later if the layout changes. For a rented property, a temporary terrace, or any site where trenching a gas line is not realistic, propane is the practical answer rather than a compromise.

The trade offs, honestly

A tank runs out, usually at the least convenient moment, and someone has to swap it. Running costs per hour are higher than natural gas. And the tank has to live somewhere, which on a tidy terrace means either a concealed base or accepting that it is visible. None of that is a reason to avoid propane, but all of it is worth knowing before ordering rather than after the first cold evening.

Specification and warranty

Output and coverage area are published per model, and both matter more than the physical size of the heater. Mounting heights and clearances are published as well and are not advisory. Every unit carries its manufacturer factory warranty, valid because we are an authorized dealer rather than a reseller. Freight is free to the lower 48. For a multi unit terrace, contact us and we will quote it rather than selling from the shelf, since spacing and output are easier to get right once than to correct after installation.
